Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-20 + 7x + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -20 + 7x + x2 = 0 Solving -20 + 7x + x2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '20' to each side of the equation. -20 + 7x + 20 + x2 = 0 + 20 Reorder the terms: -20 + 20 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 20 Combine like terms: -20 + 20 = 0 0 + 7x + x2 = 0 + 20 7x + x2 = 0 + 20 Combine like terms: 0 + 20 = 20 7x + x2 = 20 The x term is 7x. Take half its coefficient (3.5). Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides. Add '12.25' to each side of the equation. 7x + 12.25 + x2 = 20 + 12.25 Reorder the terms: 12.25 + 7x + x2 = 20 + 12.25 Combine like terms: 20 + 12.25 = 32.25 12.25 + 7x + x2 = 32.25 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (x + 3.5)(x + 3.5) = 32.25 Calculate the square root of the right side: 5.678908346 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (x + 3.5) equal to 5.678908346 and -5.678908346.
